Deputies: Search on for 'armed and dangerous' men

Justin Dawkins and Emmanuel Hutchinson: Accused of armed robbery and other crimes

SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. -

Spartanburg County deputies are looking for two men they say are armed and dangerous.

Investigators said they identified Justin Terrell Dawkins and Emmanuel Shai Hutchinson as the men responsible for an armed robbery in October at the Lil' Cricket. They are each charged with armed robbery and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime for that crime.

Investigators said both men are also considered suspects in other robberies and home invasions in Spartanburg County and similar incidents in Laurens County.

Deputies said Hutchinson is also wanted for an outstanding warrant in the city of Spartanburg for assault and battery that happened in 2009.

Deputies say the men are responsible for an armed robbery that was caught on camera on Oct. 28. Deputies were called to the Lil Cricket on Southport Road at 8:20 p.m. about the robbery.

When deputies arrived, the female clerk told them two men came into the store. She said one of the men had a long gun and demanded money. She said the men took $57 in cash from the drawer and two rolls of nickels from the safe.

She said one of the men hit her in the head with the barrel of the gun, and both left out the back door.

Anyone with information is asked to call 1-888-CRIME SC
